The haunting of bannermansCastle in the river Hudson River Hudson Valley fall time Bannermans island canvas print metal print wall art

I have been photographing Bannermans for years. . Unless you are on a boat its hard to get a good angle to photograph the castle from. Except for one spot. There is a house on the east shore of the river on a hill overlooking the castle. Crazy story on how I found out about the house. I had bought a brand new camera and was out on the motorcycle with it one day. I had taken a couple shots of the castle from the train tracks on the east shore but wasnt happy with them. I took off up the road looking for a better vantage point when I saw this car pulling out of a driveway that I could see might be a good spot to see the castle. I pulled in to the driveway and asked the guy in the car if it was ok if I took some pics of the castle from his yard. He said yes absolutely! We talked for a little while, turned out he was a vet too and he told me I was welcome anytime to come back and take pics of the castle. So I took a couple shots that day and didnt think too much more about it. At the time I was still working in New York City running a power plant and commuting back and forth 80 miles or so each way. I used to switch routes to try and keep the commute a little interesting. The day I took this picture had been threatening storms all day. I had come all the way up the Palisades Parkway and across the bear Mountain Bridge. As I went across the bridge I could see the river was getting really rough and I could see the sky to the north was getting really nasty looking. I headed north on 9D and the further I went the harder the wind was blowing and the lower the clouds were getting. I got through Cold Spring and you couldnt even see the top of Storm King Mountain. I got to the guys driveway and pulled in on a whim. This is what I saw. The wind was howling but it hadnt started raining yet. You could barely see the far side of the river because the clouds looked like they were right on the deck. I shot a couple shots and jumped back in my car. It started pouring 5 minutes later. I mean coming down in buckets! This is the shot I got .
